Hi! I live just outside Columbia,MD and I'm getting sleeved in December at the Anne Arundel Medical Center. Looking to meet or connect with anyone in the area :)

Welcome aboard! I will say that I am very pleased to see that you have already gotten your profile together. That is a great first start. Many people don't bother to do that at all, so it is refreshing to see it. This forum provides a wealth of knowledge and experiences, so please pick our brains any time you have questions, and provide your experiences as well. Good luck on your journey!

Not exactly in the neighborhood, but reasonably close... (I'm a couple hours northwest of you in Cumberland, MD)..

Welcome! I had my sleeve 7 months ago in Mexico.

Hi, I'm in Annapolis, and surgery is at AAMC, too, with Dr. Gandsas. My surgery date is pretty far in the future -- March 14th.

Apple! I didn't realize we were practically neighbors! (Ok, I never get down there anymore, but grew up in Calvert County, so used to go to Annapolis all the time!)

@Berry78, and my dad grew up in Cumberland! I'm gonna call you my Irish surgery twin, being as our surgeries are less than a year apart. :-)

I love that Apple and berry are Irish twins, sounds like the beginning of a delish fruit salad! :lol:

And welcome, @kelsen! I'm sort of near you, in Loudoun County, VA. I figure if I work in an office with people from where you are, it's close enough to be in the "neighborhood!"

@kelsen I see you surgery date is December 19th -- you must be pretty excited! I'm gonna want to hear all of the details since we have the same surgeon. I still dont even know what the pre-op diet is -- so if you want to dish, I'm dieing to hear! :D

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
